Pale Pinks

Good Morning

Today is my best friends birthday and I made this card for her over the weekend.  I really love the way that all the different pinks came together.

The majority of the flowers were white, I used my Copics to colour them end then I added the pearls or gems.

The filigree chipboard corner was covered with glitter and then I added some little gems, just to add to the bling.

I have already given the card to my friend and she just absolutely loves it.

From the end of this week, my blog will unfortunately have to take a bit of a backseat as the moving company will be at our house next week Tuesday to pick up the furniture for the big move to Cape Town.  I have made a few cards that I will share until I go down myself on the 24th.  After that I am not sure when I will be online as we will be staying with family and all our stuff is going into storage until we have find a suitable house to buy.  I have however put the essential paper crafting stuff in a huge bin and once I am set up I will hopefully be able to create some cards again.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and I hope that you will have an awesome day.

Hugs,
Marika

Good Afternoon

I made this card over the weekend with the intention of putting it on my blog on Tuesday.  But in between packing for the move, looking after the kids and people coming around to look at the house, I completely forgot that I even made this.  So here is my card.

I am sorry today seems to be one of those days where my photos are imported, but it is not the right way up and for the life of me I cannot fix it.  So my apologies. I think maybe it is time for a new camera.  I coloured Tilda with my copics and then added some glitter to her wings.

I love to colour her hair with the greys and black copics.  I really need to practise to get the blond colour combination right. 

The flowers I used was bought at a factory shop that specialises in making handmade paper, the use all the offcuts to make paper flowers like these.  They are pretty bland, so I had to put something else on them to make them standout.

I am very exited, I bought some new Magnolia stamps last week and they arrived in the post this morning, so I cannot wait to get home to ink some of them up.  I have decided that this afternoon, I will take a break from packing and colour one of my new Magnolia Stamps.

Have a great day and please feel free to leave me a comment, I always love to hear what you think.

Hugs,
